Bono's plite gets plenty of attention because he IS Bono... just like Lance Armstrong IS Lance Armstrong...
... it's the same reason we have celebrity spokes people for Advertising campaigns etc... you put a 'trusting well-known' face to a product... and it sells...
... this isn't much diff. in the realm charity work...
... recall after 9/11 and the Katrina disasters? HUGE TELEVISED Famous People telethons ran up a ton of support etc...
... would there have been any viewship to those money-raising campaigns if not for the famous folks performing? Sure - maybe... a lil money would have been raised...
... What's unfortunetly happening here is people are judging the campaign on the people running it - and not the outcome nor the desired outcome.
